There are a lot more newbies too> not saying i wasn't once one, but yea more stories of yard sales for sure.

I prefer to paddle in while watching breakers, if one approaches i paddle backwards slightly to gain momentum, wave hits me and i chase it, repeat until im waist deep and walk it in.

Hobies dont surf well and if you are caught surfing it, you better dig that paddle in deep, otherwise your gonna get rolled.

The backwards method just seems so awkward, never really see anyone doing that anyways. Plus, big white wash will flip you using this method anyhow.
